At this time the Radio was starting to be very common while there were basically no televisions. Today we pay a so called "Yle-tax", but before that we had to pay for TV-licenses, and even earlier than that it was Radio Licenses.

The collection of cards from the 1940s and 1950s is rather large. Lauri has especially collected cards by Martta Wendelin. A large part of those cards are Christmas cards. In the collection we also find cards sent from the United States and England from this time period.
